ISS alert a false alarm?
January 15, 2015 - Crew evacuates US segment of space station, but leak could be false alarm.
A possible ammonia leak into the US portion of the International Space Station prompted US astronauts to seek shelter in the Russian segment. Engineers believe the warning may have been a false alarm.
The crew received the warning about 4 am, prompting them to don breathing masks and gather in the Russian segment. By about 9 am no other evidence of ammonia in the segment appeared, suggesting to engineers on the ground that the event was a false alarm.

Russia tries to contact Progress spacecraft
Russia will again try to make contact with an unmanned cargo ship after communications were lost following the spacecraft’s launch toward the International Space Station. The Progress capsule is circling the Earth in radio silence, carrying three tons of food and supplies for the ISIS astronauts. None of the equipment on board was critical for the US segment of the ISS, and the astronauts have plenty of provisions, enough to last for months, said Nasa.
